Method for transmitting medical information idetified by a unique identifier

a unique identifier and medical information technology, applied in the field of transmitting patient health information, can solve the problems of not teaching the use of such methods for transmitting health information to emergency medical personnel or how individuals, and not providing security to users to prevent information from being delivered to the wrong hands, etc., to achieve efficient transmission of patient identifying information

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows healthcare providers (such as hospitals) to easily share their own data about patients on different devices like smartphones overcomes issues associated with storing all these details separately when they are sent away. Additionally, there may exist concerns regarding how sensitive certain parts of those records get compromised during storage due to external factors like physical damage caused by accidental droplets impact onto them. By sharing only necessary pieces of relevant detail between multiple sources instead of sending everything individually, security measures become more effective against potential attacks.

Problems solved by technology

Technologies described include improving electronic payment systems where customers have access to smartphones equipped with cameras while they purchase goods. These improvements allow them to see what others would like without having physical stores staff physicists around again. There is currently no solution provided specifically targeted towards specific consumers who want more privacy when accessing sensitive materials associated with those purchases made over internet browsing platforms.

Embodiment Construction

[0031] As best shown in FIG. 1, once an emergency 911 call is made (1), and an ambulance (or other emergency medical personnel) responds (2), the invention is deployed. Initially, a patient identifier is provided which is used to retrieve a patient's medical history. This may be done from a manual directory or a computer algorithm, such as described above. A card or other record containing a unique ERI may be provided for a patient to make available to emergency medical personnel (3). The record can be carried around by the patient on a necklace, on a bracelet, in a wallet, or stored in a convenient location in one's home or car. Once the card is found, the medical personnel activate the software application that is already loaded onto a cell phone (4). An example of this software is Scanzoom available from Scanbuy, 54 W. 39th Street, New York, N.Y. 10018. The medical personnel may use a cell phone to scan the ERI (5). The cell phone transmits its own phone number and the ERI to a cent

Abstract

A method for transmitting personal health information from a databank to a health facility. An individual's health information is stored in a database, and the information is sent to authorized users as needed. The information is stored in the database by coding an individual's private file with a unique identifying number or alpha-numeric sequence. The individual is provided with an electronically readable identifier (ERI) that corresponds to the unique identifying number or alpha-numeric sequence. The ERI can be scanned by medical personnel with the appropriate scanner. The scanner is authenticated by the database, and the information corresponding to that individual is sent back to the scanner for use by the emergency medical personnel. The health information can also be sent to a hospital. The entire process requires authentication of the medical personnel and validation of the ERI for security purposes.
